	Oat Cell Lung Cancer - Small Cell Lung Cancer - Paul, Hanley & Harley, LLP
		Small or oat cell lung cancer is also much less common than non-small cell lung cancer, accounting for only about 20 percent of all types of lung cancer.
		Because it is such a progressive disease, oat cell lung cancer tends to form metastases in the lung and in nearby organs-and once these metastases develop, it is too late to perform surgery.
		Instead, the oat cell lung cancer and the metastases are typically treated with cryosurgery (during which oat cell lung cancer cells are frozen and destroyed), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

		Little or no labeling of any cell type was seen on lymphomyeloid cells of the virgin or pregnant CBA mice, but a consistent labeling of a rare blast-type cell in the blood was observed with both antibodies, raising the possibility that this cell may represent the circulating precursor of the decidual cell lineage.
		Characterization and cell cycle kinetics of hepatocyte populations isolated from adult liver tissue by a nonenzymatic procedure; Higgins PJ et al.; Suspensions of liver cells enriched in lobular parenchymal hepatocytes were isolated from adult mouse hepatic tissue by nonenzymatic dispersion in chelating buffer and sedimentation of the released cells at unit g.
		The accumulation of cell wall hydroxyproline was associated with rapid transient increases in the extractable activities of proline 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase and a protein arabinosyl transferase.

	From the Grand Rounds Archive at Baylor
		By light microscopy the cells of Merkel cell carcinoma are round to ovoid with scanty cytoplasm and the nuclei are round to ovoid and measure 14 to 20 microns with chromatin that is fine and dispersed.
		Merkel cell carcinoma is often associated with other neoplasms, the most frequent of which is squamous cell carcinoma in which it has either been resected earlier from the skin of the same anatomic site involved by the Merkel cell carcinoma or the two tumors coexist.
		Merkel cell carcinoma is a radiosensitive tumor and is recommended for all patients due to its aggressive nature, the high rate of locoregional recurrence and the association of distant metastases with the initial locoregional recurrence.

		By contrast, non-small cell carcinoma may not have spread at the time of diagnosis, so that surgical resection, or cutting away, of the tumor is possible.
		Large cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma usually are found on the periphery (outer edges) of the lungs and may occur as solitary nodules, masses, or scar cancer.
		By contrast, squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma often are centrally located and may appear to be pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), atelectasis (collapsed lung), or pit-like masses.

		This cancer grows more slowly but is as lethal as oat cell carcinoma.
		The latest trend in treating lung cancer is to use chemotherapy first (to make the cancer smaller), and then radiation therapy to further decrease the size or get rid of the cancer completely.
		If the cancer has spread beyond the lung, chemotherapy is used to palliate the disease and keep the patient free of side effects for as long as possible.

		Also called oat cell carcinoma of the lung, it has the most rapid clinical course of any type of lung cancer, with average survival time of only several months without treatment.
